Wordy Wednesday (“Troy [Friday Parody]”)

The process of eating a mango in Costa Rica (learned on my church mission trip there over the summer):

1. After completing the easy tasks of first locating a mango tree, followed by knocking a mango out of it, followed by grabbing the mango from the ground before the leaf cutter ants do (perhaps the hardest part of this entire first step — they’re known to frighten us Norteamericanos off), proceed to peel it open.

2. Once you have successfully peeled your mango, attempt to take a bite out of it without getting too many of its fibers stuck in your teeth or like looking like too much of a tonta idiot.

3. OM NOM NOM that mango!!

4. Decide it’s much easier (and far less sticky) just to eat mango ice cream like a regular person.

In other news, here’s your Wordy Wednesday writing! 🙂 This is a song I wrote for mythology class this semester, parodying “Friday” by Rebecca Black. Enjoy… *ominous music as scene fades to black*

VERSE1
It’s year one, making up excuses
Gotta be free, don’t wanna fight this war
Gotta have my mind if I’m gonna act insane
They’re seeing everything, I can’t plow my son
Getting on the boat, but that north wind’s blowing
We’ve gotta sacrifice Iphigenia
Gotta catch Paris, I see the Trojans

Fighting with the Trojans
Arguing with the Greeks
Gotta win this war
Which side should I take?

VERSE2
It’s the middle of the war
And we got another god mad
Agamemnon’s gotta give his girl back
Now he’s taking Achilles’s, ’cause he’s a jerk
Plan, plan, plan about war
Thetis just has to have the last word
Gotta defeat the Trojans, but Achilles won’t fight

Fighting with the Trojans
Arguing with the Greeks
Gotta win this war
Which side should I take?

[Repeat CHORUS]

BRIDGE
Now ten years have gone by, gone by
This is our last chance not to die, to die
We gonna hide in a horse, hide in a horse
Burn and pillage Troy, and rescue Helen

LOL…my mom is OBSESSED with mangos for some reason, she luuuuuurves them 😛
Ooooh, I remember this song! You have it on your magical youtube account!!! 🙂 MAGICAL FAIRIES…. (sorry, it’s 8:45 and I’m not exactly sure if I’m awake or not…)

I just got up, too, because I have to go to my grandparents’ in a couple of hours and I wanted to make sure I remembered to shower… I’m really starting to wonder if there was much logic behind this plan, because all I want to do right now is go back to sleep.
